Pauter Connecting Rods

Years of hands-on experience in all types of racing and racing-related abuse has given Pauter an extremely comprehensive file on just what works on the subject of high performance connecting rods.

A Pauter rod looks different for not so obvious, but very good reasons. For starters, the simple beam design completely eliminates thin and non-uniform cross sections over the total length of the beam. This feature greatly improves resistance to crack-induced metal fatigue. In addition, the non-tapered profile of the beam helps to spread potentially harmful stress over a larger area, dispersing instead of concentrating these destructive loads. The design also efficiently places needed material in critical transitional areas, giving maximum support exactly where it is needed. The streamlined contour also provides subtle benefits in the form of windage reduction. The main beam rib itself continues around the wrist pin boss, perfectly integrating the beam to the pin boss, a small, but important contribution to overall structural unity. Priced per set.
